Research

Currently I am working on the SmartWheeler robotic wheelchair. Its goal is to increase the autonomy and safety of individuals with severe mobility impairments. My main focus in the project is motion planning and autonomous navigation.

Some past projects:

Terptube – a web application that aims to create an accessible online environment that supports mentoring between Deaf users and sign language interpreters.

SignLinkStudio – Java and Flash based web authoring application that enables marginalized deaf communities who use non-text methods of communication, such as sign language, to enjoy a strong on-line presence of their culture and identity in their own language
